Liu Yimin wrote the book "Letter to the People of the Northeast", and the total of our army on the Jinzhou front began!

Jinzhou is an important city connecting Northeast China and North China in the Liaoning West Corridor.

Historically, our Northeast Field Army launched the Liaoshen Campaign, which took 31 hours to conquer Jinzhou, and then eliminated Liao Yaoxiang's corps, achieving a great victory. From then on, the Northeast Field Army became the largest strategic group of our army, and after waving its troops into the pass, it was invincible, and the Kuomintang army had no strength to fight back.

The topography of Jinzhou urban area is high in the north and low in the south, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There are Jiguan Mountain in the northwest, Putuo Mountain and Erlangdong Mountain in the north, the altitude is more than 300 meters, and it is the commanding height of the north of the city; To the east is the Big and Small Bauhinia Mountains, with an altitude of 370 meters, and the southeast mountains are stuck in the east exit of Jinzhou. The south side crosses the Xiaoling River, the daughter river is the highland in the south of the city, slightly becomes the northeast-southwest trend, is composed of the shelf mountain, the Hanwangdian mountain, the big shelf mountain, the altitude is more than 200 meters, it is the barrier of the south side of Jinzhou. The urban area of Jinzhou is surrounded by water on three sides: the Xiaoling River goes around the city in the northwest to the south of the city, the daughter river goes from the southwest of the city to the south of the city, and there are Baigu River on the east side of the city.

After the puppet Manchukuo appeared, the Japanese puppet established Jinzhou Province to administer the counties of western Liaoning. The puppet Manchurian Jinzhou Province took Jinzhou as the provincial capital, and at the same time adopted the city system, and established Jinzhou City, with counties outside the city, which means that the puppet governments at the provincial, city, and county levels are all stationed in Jinzhou City.

Jinzhou City is actually two parts, the western half is the old city, with an area of four square kilometers. Brick and earth walls. The eastern half is the new town, which is mainly urbanized with streets and buildings.

Unlike the 100,000 heavy troops stationed in Jinzhou during the Liaoshen Battle in history, the Japanese army stationed in Jinzhou at this time was the independent Fifth Garrison, and the puppet Manchurian Army was the mixed 24th Brigade and 25th Brigade of the Jinzhou Regional Garrison Command of the Fifth Military Region. The total strength is about 15,000 people, scattered in Jinzhou city and surrounding counties. Because I never thought that there was a squadron that dared and could land in the northeast, and I was not aware of our army's attempt to capture Jinzhou in advance, the Japanese puppet army did not have time to shrink its strength, and the Japanese puppet army in Jinzhou City had relatively few troops.

Jinzhou is the capital of Jinzhou Province, located on the Bac Ninh line, with convenient transportation. The Japanese puppets wanted to take advantage of Jinzhou's geographical advantages to plunder the resources of western Liaoning, support the war of aggression, and had to whitewash the peace, although the key points outside the city were built with reinforced concrete structures, but they were only general defense, and the main force of the defenders lived in the barracks, not to mention laying mines and pulling barbed wire outside the city.

The little devils' aggression against the Northeast has now risen to the level of enslaving education, changing the population composition of the Northeast, and occupying the Northeast for a long time from the roots.

The Eighth Route Army sneaked across the Great Wall and quietly entered the Western Liaoning Corridor. It's ridiculous that the Japanese puppet army in Jinzhou didn't know that a catastrophe was coming. Still in a normal state of life.

Historically, when Siye attacked Jinzhou, due to the strong strength of the Kuomintang army, they overhauled fortifications at various points on the periphery. Additions, expansions, and reinforcements were carried out on the strongholds of the Japanese puppet military fortifications, which led to a very brutal battle. For example, the key points in the south of the city, the Hanwang Dianshan Mountain, the key points in the north of the city, the big pimple, the northern camp, the synthetic fuel field, etc., were all taken down by the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, and the attacking troops were often sacrificed by the entire battalion and the entire company.

Today's situation is different, the Japanese puppet army was forced into battle without the slightest defense, and the defensive forces at various points outside the city were all combat-ready duty troops, which could not be compared with wartime. Like the synthetic fuel plant, they are all enterprises with normal production, and there is not a single soldier of the Japanese puppet army stationed there.

It is true that military points need to be garrisoned, but garrison in peacetime is very different from defense in wartime. In peacetime, the garrison duty unit has a small number of troops, and officers and men can also ask for leave to visit Jinzhou City. In wartime, such points as these are heavily defended, and soldiers hide in trenches and open bunkers, staring and ready to shoot at any time.

In this way, during the day after our army launched a surprise attack on the outskirts of Jinzhou. It quickly controlled the key points on the periphery of Jinzhou, where the defense was empty, and the offensive edge approached the city wall. Even the Japanese puppet army in Beida Camp fled into the city in a hurry under the fierce blows of our army, and hurriedly laid fortifications in the city, ready to wait for help!

The second column attacked from north to south, the sixth column attacked from south to north, and the two main columns attacked like an iron tong, pincering at Jinzhou City.

Our army had the experience of storming Taiyuan and Jinan, and after the troops approached the city wall, they carried out earthwork according to the battle plan, dug the trenches to the side of the city wall, and each unit also made earthen tanks to be used in the siege of the city. Then began to organize shouts and disintegrate the enemy.

After receiving Liu Yimin's telegram order, Liu Jianli immediately adjusted his deployment and left a gap in the western part of Jinxi, so that the Japanese puppet army could break through and strive to annihilate it in the field.

The observation and command post established by Liu is located in Maoshan, which is in the same position as the observation and command post of the four fields when they attacked Jinzhou in history, and can look at the overall situation of the battlefield. During the day, Liu Jianli led the cadres to see the terrain of Jinzhou clearly, and commanded the troops to successfully capture the key points on the periphery of Jinzhou. At this time, the sky was already dark, and he was no longer afraid of the bombing of Japanese planes, Liu Jianli immediately issued an order for a general attack, and three red signal flares rose into the air. In an instant, the infantry guns, mortars, and flying thunder guns of the 2nd and 6th Column Artillery Regiments, as well as the brigades and regiments, all opened fire, and carried out a destructive artillery bombardment on the Jinzhou city wall.

The cannonballs streaked across the night sky and exploded on the city wall of Jinzhou, and the explosive packets fired by the flying thunder cannon exploded on the city wall, and the earth trembled with the sound of the rumbling explosion.

Such powerful artillery fire soon blasted open from the northeast and south of the Jinzhou city wall, and when the artillery fire extended and shelled one after another, the siege troops of the second and sixth columns launched a city defense assault battle against each breach. The fighters rushed towards the breach, carrying earthen tanks made of wet quilts over the top of the square table.

As soon as the Eighth Route Army launched a general offensive, the Japanese puppet army began to organize a counterattack, artillery fire was fiercely hit towards the breakthrough, and reserves also poured towards the breakthrough, in an attempt to squeeze out the Eighth Route Army and block the breakthrough.

The little devil didn't know the trick of the Eighth Route Army to use artillery fire, and put the reserve to counterattack the breakthrough, but he didn't know that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army as early as the Red Eighteenth Regiment set up an artillery company, Liu Yimin and Li Chang discussed artillery tactics, and talked about how to open the gap and how to consolidate the gap in the urban siege. It is necessary to carry out secondary fire coverage of the breach. No, just when the Japanese puppet army reserve was shouting and rushing to the breach, the dense artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army fell from the sky again, smashing towards the Japanese puppet army's counter-assault force that rushed to the breach, and blasted the Japanese puppet army into stumps and pieces. Immediately afterwards, the two artillery regiments of the Eighth Route Army suppressed the artillery positions of the Japanese puppet army that were firing artillery, and the artillery of the fifth independent garrison of the Japanese army was extinguished.

The troops of the 2nd Column and the 4th Brigade poured into the city from the northern breakthrough, and the 6th Column troops poured into the city from the southern breakthrough in the city, and the Jinzhou city defense was broken through.

Teng Xinxing was seriously wounded in the battle of the Second Brigade to break through Yangji on Longhai Road and almost died. He stayed in the hospital for half a year, and after returning from his injuries, he still served as the company commander of the first battalion of the fourth regiment of his teaching. In this army expansion and reorganization, Teng Xinxing was finally promoted from company commander to battalion commander, and he was also the commander of the first battalion of the 13th Regiment of the 2nd Column, 4th Brigade, and 1st Battalion.

In the battle of attacking Jinzhou, Teng Xinxing's first battalion once again assumed the task of the sharp knife battalion and took the lead in attacking the breakthrough.

At this breakthrough, Teng Xinxing commanded the troops to attack the railway, preparing to cross the railway to attack the railway bureau building and the railway station.

Suddenly, two machine guns protruded from a culvert in the railway and fired wildly at the attack formation of the first battalion, knocking out a dozen fighters who had rushed to the front to the ground in one fell swoop.

Teng Xinxing hurriedly ordered the troops to lie down, turned around and shouted: "Fire cover!" Bazooka, shoot the devil's machine gun for Lao Tzu! ”

The fighters, who were lying on the ground, opened heavy fire on the railway culvert, covering the bazooka team to move forward.

A rocket flew out, with a loud bang, and the devil's machine guns and machine gun shooters were buried in the railway culvert.

Jin Tiejiu, a fellow who led the way for the first battalion, happily got up from the ground and shouted: "Hit, hit!" ”

Before the words fell, Teng Xinxing, who was lying on the ground, stretched out his hand and pulled Jin Tiejiu down, and then scolded sharply: "I don't want to live anymore, do you?" Climb down! ”

Before the troops launched the attack, they organized advance teams in the villages on the outskirts of Jinzhou, and each battalion had a fellow who led the way.

As soon as the devil's machine gun was silent, Teng Xinxing jumped up and commanded the troops to charge in the direction of the railway bureau building.

Some of the troops who attacked the city with a battalion went up to the city wall and assaulted along the city wall. Some followed behind a battalion and swooped down into the city.

The enemy in Jinzhou City was already in chaos at this time. They had been ordered to defend Jinshu to the death, but now that the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Mijiro, is dead, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadajichi, is dead, and the commander of the Kwantung Defense Army, Lieutenant General Yasui Toji, is also dead. Sticking to it is definitely a dead end; Abandon the Jinzhou breakout, and there is no order. The Japanese puppet army could only wait for death slowly with their eyes open.

The counterattack breakthrough failed, and the military spirit of the puppet army was shaken first.

Wang Ruihua, the governor of Jinzhou Province in the puppet Manchurians, is a native of Jinxi. Because his father, Wang Ziya, participated in the Boxer Rebellion, killed the French priest of the Lianshan Catholic Church, and was executed by the government, he was forced to move to Ningyuan Prefecture (present-day Xingcheng) with his brother Wang Ruishuang in 1901. When he was more than 10 years old, he left home to study at the Baoding Army Primary School in Hebei Province, and later graduated from the Baoding Army Military Academy, and successively served as the lieutenant colonel of the 25th Regiment of the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Guo Songling Department of the Northeast Army, the colonel attached to the Northeast Army Sergeant Teaching Team, the commander of the Major General Brigade of the Fourth Infantry Brigade, and the lieutenant general education chief of the Northeast Jiangwutang Teaching Team. After the 918 Incident, Wang Ruihua served as the Jilin Self-Defense Army organized by General Li Du, and served as the commander of the 29th Brigade and participated in the defense of Harbin. In 1935, Wang Ruihua became the magistrate of the puppet Mangai County, and now he is the puppet governor of Jinzhou Province.
